Marian, Lady Rootes.
10
William (Billy), the first Lord Rootes with Ramsbury Manor beyond.
FOREWORD
Marian Rootes was the widow of Geoffrey Rootes, the eldest
son of William Edward (Billy) Rootes who founded Rootes
Motors. This sale brings together some of the finest works of
art collected by two generations of the Rootes family during
the years when the Rootes motoring empire was at its peak.
The Rootes story starts with Billy Rootes's father, William,
who ran a bicycle shop in Hawkhurst, Kent and began
selling cars in 1895. Billy shared his father's mechanical
interests and went to work for the Singer Motor Company
as a penny an hour apprentice at the tender age of 15. He
soon progressed to selling Singer cars and the dynamism
that marked him as a future entrepreneur became apparent
at this time. After serving in the naval air service in the First
World War, he was demobbed and founded Rootes Motors
with his brother Reggie. The brothers set about establishing
a network of car showrooms throughout the country selling
British car marques. Such was their success that by 1926 they
had opened Devonshire House, the palatial flagship Rootes
showroom and headquarters that dominated the north side of
Piccadilly at Green Park. The next step was to take over many
of the small car manufacturers whose cars they were selling
and rationalise their production. Thus Humber, Hillman,
Sunbeam and Singer came under the Rootes Group banner.
In January 1936 Billy took his son Geoffrey - who had just
left Harrow school - on a six-month world tour, looking for
opportunities to expand the Rootes Group's international
motoring empire which by now stretched from America to
Australia and the Far East. It was during this trip that Billy
received a cable from the government inviting him to become
chairman of the committee tasked with setting up shadow
factories to manufacture aircraft for the Royal Air Force in
preparation for the war.
It was Billy Rootes's contribution to the war effort that led to
his knighthood. In November 1940, following the Coventry
blitz, Winston Churchill asked him to get Coventry's industry
back into production without delay. Billy rose to the occasion.
On the morning after the blitz, he stood on an upturned box
outside his bombed factories, encouraging his workforce to
clear up the mess and promising there would continue to be
work for all. Billy was knighted in 1942 for his achievements
and the outstanding contribution made to the war effort by
the Rootes Group in producing record numbers of aircraft,
vehicles and supplies for the British forces. His brother Reggie
was also knighted in 1945.
Billy provided cars to the most famous people in the land:
he made his chauffeur and car available to the Duke of
Windsor upon his abdication; provided the Humber staff car
- affectionately known as Old Faithful - which Field Marshall
Montgomery used throughout the war, and made sure that
Sir Winston Churchill always had a succession of much loved
Humbers when there was a post-war shortage of motor cars.
In 1946 Billy bought Glenalmond Estate in Scotland, a magnificent 16,000 acre sporting estate with grouse moors, stalking, pheasant shooting, duck flighting lochs and game fishing.
At its heart stood a large and extremely comfortable house
which he bought complete with contents, including silver and
linen. Billy and his wife had it beautifully re-decorated by John
Fowler and for thirty-five years it was the setting for many
happy house-parties and excellent sporting holidays enjoyed
by family and friends. The guest list was illustrious, with
Harold Macmillan among the distinguished guns listed in the
Game Book.
Billy was honoured with an hereditary peerage in 1959 in recognition of his role in promoting Britain’s interests abroad as
Chairman of the Dollar Exports Council. He took the title of
Baron Rootes of Ramsbury, having bought Ramsbury Manor
from Lord Wilton a year earlier. Pevsner described Ramsbury
Manor as “a perfect example of the moderate-sized brick mansion of about 1680.” By modern standards it was extremely
large and was considered to be one of the most beautiful
houses in England with interiors embellished with Grinling
Gibbons carvings and fine plasterwork. The house was full of
beautiful paintings and antiques, many of which were included
in the purchase of the house.
Billy died in 1964 and Geoffrey succeeded to the title.
Geoffrey had returned from 6 ½ years active military service
in March 1946 and upon his return he had fallen in love
with a beautiful young war widow, Marian Slater, whose
husband Wing Commander Garth Slater had been killed in
action. Marian's childhood and teens were spent at Burghclere
Grange, near Newbury, where she made an impression on
all who knew her, including the author Richard Adams of
Watership Down fame, who penned the following in his
autobiography (The day gone by, 1990): “Marian Hayter
(her maiden name) was, by common agreement, the most
beautiful girl for miles around. She did teach the torches to
burn bright. Since then I have had the luck to meet some very
beautiful women (including Virginia McKenna, Julie Christie,
and Raquel Welch) but I have never seen anyone -anyone at
all- more beautiful than Marian Hayter. She fairly knocked
you flat (even at the age of eight or nine); a perfect English
blonde, golden-haired, blue-eyed, smiling, graceful in movement, softly rosy, with a kind of unselfconscious vivacity and
poise which made you want to go on looking at her for ever.
She later married the chairman of the Rootes group. Good
luck to him!”
Geoffrey, the second Lord Rootes.
Geoffrey and Marian married in August 1946 and he joined
the family motor business, becoming Managing Director of
Rootes Group. When Billy died Ramsbury Manor was sold,
in part to settle the massive burden of death duties levied
at that time, and Glenalmond Estate was shared between
Geoffrey and his brother Brian. Ramsbury was described as
“the most expensive house in Britain” in the 1966 Guinness
Book of Records, achieving a record price of £650,000. How
times have changed!
The North Standen Estate in Berkshire now became the main
home of Geoffrey and Marian and many of the works of art
from Ramsbury Manor were divided between their Berkshire,
Scottish and London homes. Glenalmond House was sold
in 1981 with the consequent migration of many items to
North Standen House, which now boasted a most remarkable
array of fine and decorative art. Geoffrey and Marian were
keen collectors in their own right, adding paintings such as
Sir Matthew Smith's Flowers in a Jug to their collection. After
Geoffrey’s death in 1992, Marian sold the North Standen
Estate and moved to a house nearby, retaining some of her
favourite pieces until her death in March of this year. The
works of art in this catalogue are the culmination of many
years of collecting and reflect the memories of Marian's long
and happy marriage to Geoffrey and the lovely homes they
created together.

Provenance: A Dorset Manor House.
Probably originally the property of the Seymer family.
This enigmatic tankard appears to relate to so-called
Veneto-Saracenic metalwork, which has been the subject of
considerable academic debate in recent years. The stylistic
vocabulary may indicate that it was made in Venice, but a
Levantine origin cannot be discounted. It seems likely that
the tinned ground on the exterior was originally filled with
a black compound, traces of which remain in some places.

See Country Life, 21st December 1961, where illustrated
in the Library at Ramsbury Manor, Wiltshire, and also
recorded in the 1965 Inventory.
In view of the Ramsbury Manor provenance, it is possible
that this chair originally formed part of the furnishings
of Foremark Hall, Derbyshire, the home of Sir Robert
Burdett, Bt. Sadly, Sir Robert's improvements at Foremark
Hall are not impressively documented. Substantial
payments to "Mr Chippendale" are recorded between
February 1766 and April 1774. The stylistic vocabulary
and execution of this chair is consistent with the workshop
of Thomas Chippendale and it may be compared to a chair
from The Hochschild Collection sold at Sotheby's on 1st
December 1978, Lot 66. It may also be compared to a
set of four bergere chairs supplied by Chippendale for the
Dining Room at Paxton in 1776, illustrated by Christopher
Gilbert in "The Life & Works of Thomas Chippendale"
and published 1978.

This robust form of centre table was introduced around
1800 by the connoisseur, Thomas Hope (died 1831). He
was inspired by the work of his friend, Charles Percier .
Hope may also have been influenced and assisted by his
architect, Charles Heathcote Tatham (died 1842) in the
invention of this form of "round monopodium" table which
was introduced at his Adam-built Duchess Street mansion.
Hope published the design in "Household Furniture and
Interior Decoration Excluded from Designs by Thomas
Hope" in 1807 where it is illustrated as plate 39.

See illustration
The extravagant rococo form and the scale of the carving
is redolent of the work carried out by Luke Lightfoot at
Claydon, Buckinghamshire. Claydon House was built
between 1757 and 1771 by Earl Verney. The Chinese
Room on the first floor represents a chinoiserie fantasy
smothered with fruit, foliage, icicles, figures in niches and
bells. It is, without doubt, one of the most extraordinary
rooms in the British Isles.
148
The present mirror represents an eccentric expression of
the chinoiserie style, which reached its apotheoses in the
1760's.
The overall form and design can also be compared to
the published designs of Thomas Johnson - "150 New
Designs", published 1758 and those published by Matthias
Lock in conjunction with Copeland.
The painted scheme may well reflect the original, but it was
almost certainly conceived and executed by the renowned
designer, John Fowler.

Rome, 2nd century AD, 85" wide x 29" deep x 27" high.
Provenance: The collection of Sir John Vharles Robinson
CB, FSA, Surveyor of Pictures to HM Queen Victoria and
founder and First Superintendent of the Art Collection
in South Kensington Museum (Victoria and Albert
Museum).
Sold by Hy. Duke & Son of Dorchester as part of the
Newton Manor Collection, Swanage, Dorset on September
1st-4th 1913, Lot 503 (illustrated in the catalogue) and
acquired at that sale by the family of the vendor.
Various dates have been proposed for this magnificent
sarcophagus. In a communication from the British
Museum in 1956 a second century date was proposed,
but more recently an early third century date has been
suggested. The quality of the marble and the sculpted
decoration indicate an Italian origin and the undecorated
back suggests that the sarcophagus may have come from
an independent mausoleum, where the tomb was placed
against a wall.
Sir John Charles Robinson was born in Nottingham in
December 1824. He was one of the young men that
took up with great zeal the movement inaugurated by
Prince Albert after the Great Exhibition, for establishing
a general system of art education in England. When the
South Kensington Museum was founded in 1852 he was
appointed the first Superintendent of the Art Collections, a
post which he held for 17 years. His obituary records that
he spent many seasons travelling for the museum in Italy
and Spain. With significant funds at his disposal he was
able to acquire a vast number of works in marble, bronze
and other materials, which quickly gave South Kensington
a unique position among the museums of Europe. It seems
likely that this sarcophagus was acquired on one of these
tours for his private collection.

AUCTIONEERS SINCE 1823
Glossary of Cataloguing Terms
The auctioneers are always pleased to discuss individual lots with prospective purchasers prior to the auction and will provide condition reports on request. If you require clarification of any terms employed in the catalogue please do not hesitate to seek advice. The
auctioneers are also pleased to discuss lots which may have been altered, repaired, or restored.
The term basically used in conjunction with a date (ie. basically 18th century) indicates that, in our opinion, the item may have undergone restoration, repair, or alteration. It also indicates that only an element of the piece may date from the period stated in the description. The absence of the term basically does not imply that an item is without restoration, repair, or alteration. The use of inverted
comas around a word or phrase (ie. “pearl”) indicates that the piece, or object, may not be what it is purporting to be. (ie. a simulated
pearl). If you are in doubt our specialists are available prior to the auction to offer guidance and advice.
With Chinese ceramics and works of art, if the catalogue states that the object in question bears a mark, but it does not state “and of
the period” it indicates that we believe the lot in question may not date from the period suggested by the mark. Clearly, references to
the colour of jade are subjective and again buyers are advised to inspect personally any items on which they intend to bid to ensure the
colour meets with their expectation.
Descriptions of property in this catalogue do not always indicate condition, repair or damage. Buyers are earnestly advised to inspect
personally any lot they intend to purchase. Weights and measurements are approximate and should be verified by intending purchasers
Paintings, Drawings and Prints
The use of onverted comas around the name of an artist, or date, in connetion with a signature, or inscription (ie. signed
“Nicholas Chevalier”) indicates that the signature, or inscription, may have been added by another hand.
Artist’s Resale Right
From mid February 2006 living artists are entitled by law to receive a resale royalty each time their work is resold by or to an art market
professional. From 1st January 2012 the Right has been extended to include sales of works by artists who have died within the last 70 years
(following the existing term of copyright). Royalties will be payable to the families and beneficiaries of these artists. An art work must be
resold for more than 1,000 Euros to qualify for the right. The rates payable are calculated as a percentage of the hammer price and are set
out in a sliding scale from 4% to 0.25%. The charge is exclusive of VAT. The auctioneers reserve the right to pass all of the cost to the
person buying the qualifying art work
Coloured Gem Stones
Prospective buyers of coloured gemstones should be aware that some stones might have been treated to enhance their colour or clarity.
Sapphires and rubies are commonly heat-treated and emeralds are commonly oiled. In the case of oiling, this may need to be redone after a

THIRD PARTY LIABILITY
All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note

(except as required by law by reason of our negligence) or similarly for the safety of the
property of persons visiting prior to or at a sale.
10 COMMISSION BIDS
Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always
responsible for any decision to bid for a particular Lot and shall be assumed to have
carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we will if so instructed
clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer nor our
employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so save where such failure
is unreasonable. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we
reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made.
11 WARRANTY OF TITLE AND AVAILABILITY
The seller warrants to the auctioneer and you that the seller is the true owner of the
property consigned or is properly authorised by the true owner to consign it for sale and is

The seller acknowledges that Lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these Conditions
in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time
of the entry of the Lot.
14 DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION
(1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out
exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to
view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf)
must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective
buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us
as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling
price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and
reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject
to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept
liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether
relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby
excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate
forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers”.
(2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for
purposes of consumer legislation.
15 FORGERIES
Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery
(as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in

The Auctioneers regret that they are unable to accept cheques in payment for purchases, except where arrangements have been made
beforehand, well in advance of sale day.
Intending purchasers are asked to instruct their bank to contact the Auctioneer’s bank (Natwest, 49 South Street, Dorchester) as early as
possible, to confirm clearance in writing up to a stated maximum amount to ensure that a cheque will be accepted on sale day.
In the absence of such information, a Banker’s Draft, a Building Society cheque or cash will be required to allow removal of goods on sale day.
Purchasers may not otherwise remove goods until their cheques are cleared by the Auctioneers’ bank.
